Re: 2nd dui in less than 1 yr. already
You better think again about no attorney in the courtroom with you! The judge must weigh grossly aggravating factors, such as a prior DUI conviction within 7 years, aggravating factors, such as DWLR, and mitigating factors, any factor that mitigates the seriousness of the offense before sentencing. However, it appears here that you may be subject to either a level 3 or level 2 punishment. You would then face anywhere from 72 hours to 12 months in jail. The judge could suspend the sentence and place you on probation. I would strongly recommend you get an attorney-either appointed or retained.
